yelp could not be built because of libxul dependency (10.0 vs. <2)

I posted a message on this same issue with gnash and mentioned also yelp.

In the case of gnash, libxul19 is supposed to install a file
/usr/local/lib/libxul/xpidl
but libxul-10.0.9 doesn't.

Maybe the yelp port needed this file too?

Just a few fours ago, I ran "portsnap fetch update", and I noticed yelp was
updated to a new version.  I saw no mention of libxul or libxul19 in the
Makefile.  When I ran

make all-depends-list | more

there was nothing with "xul" anywhere.

Now if you update your ports tree, you will be able to build yelp?

I think this thread really should be in the freebsd-ports emailing list?
